Designing for CNC and Laser-cutting in Tinkercad
This course explores techniques for using TinkerCAD to design 2D objects and illustrates them by taking you through a project to build an LCD enclosure. The course also touches on some techniques to correct design errors that may be encountered late in the design process without having to revisit every part. Software required: TinkerCAD.
